Hi everyone!
This weekend was spent living it up in Christchurch! we took the garden city of nz by storm during our three day visit....... barely stopping to pause for breath.
On the first day, Tim and I decided it would be fun to go tramping around the hillside, up at the sign of the Kiwi. We were fortunate enough to experience the most amazing weather and scenery, during our 45 minute walk. Also, as a bonus, no ankles were sprained, and no ligaments torn - although Tim did hit his head on a branch while walking through a particularly foresty part, and Fi tripped up down some steps when her shoe got entangled in a flax bush! but luckily for us, we made it back to civilisation ok.
The second day was mainly all about catching up with various people..... and a fantastic picnic in Hagley park! we met up with a few friends and decided we would go out for dinner. What we hadn't counted on, is that not many restaurants had spare tables for ten people at such short notice. So instead of announcing defeat, we wandered to the local fish and chip shop and got some takeaways to eat in Hagley park. Arm
ed with a bag full of cups from 1B Bealey Ave, we soon sat down to a meal reminiscent of teenage hood - fish n chips combined with white wine...... all crowded around a picnic blanket in the dying sunlight. Needless to say, there were a few silly jokes told that night, and some embarrassing stories about 'deflowerings' etc.
